I tried all afternoon to put the brake fluid in the system and get rid of the air. Needless to say I lost the air war! I followed the Matco procedures exactly - several times. I was using the pressure pot that I borrowed from my friendly FBO. It drives the fluid in through the bleeder at about 10 psi.
On the first try I was all excited as I watched the red stuff work its way through both master cylinders and out into the reservoir. Thought I had it made. Then the little sneaky bubbles started working their way out of the cylinders and into the tubes. And no matter what I tried, the bubbles stayed. Tried pumping more fluid upward through the system, no go. Tried old fashioned bleeding from the top down, no go.
How did you earlier guys ever get the air all out?
